The studios are hurting. They are obviously and publicly licensing old material to each other and scrambling to bundle streaming services together hoping the audience won’t notice they have little new to offer on each service alone.

IATSE has opportunity to build on groundwork laid by WGA &SAG-AFTRA, can press the boot studios are feeling on their necks & catch up on the raises that didn’t happen since 1980. I so very much hope they do.

Last year we set the tone, this year we bring it home.

Do you know what killed more than 19,000 Americans in the last 3 months? Covid. About 9 an hour. Many many more than that have been hurt, often permanently.

That’s a lower number than previously, yet the risks remain.

Stay home when ill, wear masks in crowds and inside, stay up to date on your vaccinations and improve ventilation (ex: opening windows) to stay healthier.

Just trying to imagine if people a few hundred years ago had been here to witness, in the span of a few weeks, an eclipse, an earthquake, a supernova as bright as the North Star, and an unexpected appearance of the northern lights.

A friend who works for one of the big studios just sent me a screen capture of his bank balance after getting his paycheck direct deposit. The accidentally paid him 19 million dollars. This just happened. I am still laughing.

Just worked with an #acting #coaching client on role they're auditioning for soon. Finding who the characters are, how they move and react to the world was fun. Honing in on how they do what they do, including connect to the #characters in the #scenes helps build fun options.

The Russian government warned Ukraine that Ukraine’s new fleet of F-16 fighter jets will be treated as a "nuclear-capable threat" by Russia, and “nuclear-capable threat” is also the nickname Putin has given his tallywacker.

Boeing’s Starliner crewed mission was postponed shortly before launch on Monday because of a last-minute issue that cropped up with a valve on the spacecraft’s rocket. Turns out the spacecraft was made by Boeing, which is concerning because recently Boeing makes things that fall apart easily.

Trump’s press secretary was asked if he really is willing to go to jail, and we would guess they answered, “if he weren’t serious about going to jail, then why did he commit so many crimes?”

RFK Jr. brain has a dead worm that ate part of his brain in it, and has been impacted by mercury poisoning.

Well…this seems at once shocking and like it makes absolutely perfect sense.
